HD display offers improved viewing quality

“Displays in the home are expected to do a plethora of things – people use them for everything from checking social media and catching up on office work, to editing and producing videos, streaming multimedia from a variety of sources, and connecting with friends and relatives anywhere in the world,” commented Artem Khomenko, Product Manager Philips Monitors Europe at MMD. “The latest 27" flat screen display is part of an extensive line-up that is designed to do all these things and more, raising the benchmark on viewing quality and convenient connectivity, and giving users the reassurance of a first-class brand at a price point that offers compelling value.”

The new display offers more than the standard features and specs. With advanced Ultra Wide Color technology, the display supports a colour gamut that is now wider than ever – 114% NTSC based on CIE1976 and 132% sRGB based on CIE 1931, which far exceeds the typical 72% NTSC and 99% sRGB, according to the company. Ultra Wide Color extends the range of perceptible colours on the screen, a feature that makes the display a valuable tool for activities that benefit from accurate colour reproduction such as home shopping (shoppers see the exact colour of the products they are ordering), as well as watching or editing photos and videos.

Complementing its colour abilities, the 276E8FJAB also features Quad HD resolution with 2560x1440 pixels for crystal-clear images. Its high-performance wide-view panel supports the high density pixel counts of sources such as DisplayPort and HDMI (supported by the new display), and the wide viewing of 178 degrees makes it possible to view the display from almost any angle.

With a range of features to automatically optimise visuals, the display fine-tunes the reproduction for a better viewing experience: Philips SmartContrast and SmartImage Lite technologies analyse the screen content, automatically making adjustments in real time to contrast, colours, image sharpness and backlight intensity to suit what is shown on the screen at the time. Flicker-free technology minimises potential eye fatigue with a new solution that regulates brightness and reduces flicker for more comfortable viewing.

In line with its all-round versatility, the display also provides sound, with two integrated stereo speakers for crisp audio reproduction when watching videos or making video calls.

The design is enhanced by edge-to-edge glass and narrow borders: as well as creating a seamless appearance, the slim borders maximise the viewing space on the screen and minimise distraction for the eyes.
